Abstract
An acutely locked knee is an incapacitating condition that requires urgent orthopedic intervention. Common causes of the locked knee include a tear of the meniscus, stump of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), loose body, and osteochondral injury. This report describes a rare case of an acutely locked knee due to the concurrent presence of a loose body and a degenerative osteophyte, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies employed for successful management. Notably, to our knowledge, there is no preceding report documenting the same etiology.
